Target data

Function

Extracellular matrix protein implicated in guidance of migrating neurons as well as axons during development, synaptic plasticity as well as neuronal regeneration. Promotes neurite outgrowth from cortical neurons grown on a monolayer of astrocytes. Ligand for integrins alpha-8/beta-1, alpha-9/beta-1, alpha-V/beta-3 and alpha-V/beta-6. In tumors, stimulates angiogenesis by elongation, migration and sprouting of endothelial cells (PubMed:19884327).

Notes

ab271877 is the carrier-free version of Anti-Tenascin C antibody [EPR4219] ab108930.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

Tenascin C also known as hexabrachion is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein with a mass of approximately 220-300 kDa depending on post-translational modifications. It shows high expression in areas undergoing tissue remodeling such as embryonic tissues wounds and tumors. It consists of repeating structural elements including epidermal growth factor-like repeats and fibronectin type III domains which facilitate its function in the context of tissue dynamics.

Biological function summary

The large hexamer known as Tenascin C plays a significant role in modulating cell adhesion migration and proliferation especially during developmental processes and injury responses. It incorporates into the existing extracellular matrix as a loose network which provides elasticity and supports cellular activities. This feature allows Tenascin C to interact with other matrix molecules and cell surface receptors to regulate tissue morphogenesis.

Pathways

Tenascin C actively participates in the Wnt and TGF-beta signaling pathways important for controlling cellular behavior in development and regeneration. It associates with integrins and glycoproteins to influence cell responses to signaling events in these pathways. By modulating these interactions Tenascin C can impact processes such as epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and angiogenesis affecting tissue architecture and function.

Associated diseases and disorders

Tenascin C exhibits a strong connection to cancer progression and chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. Its levels rise in tumors and inflamed tissues where it interacts with other matrix components and cytokines like interleukin-6 (IL-6). These interactions contribute to a microenvironment that promotes tumor growth and persistence of inflammation highlighting its role in the pathophysiology of these diseases.

    This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation (abAB108930).

    Western blot: Anti-TNC antibody [EPR4219] (Anti-Tenascin C antibody [EPR4219] ab108930) staining at 1/500 dilution, shown in black; Mouse anti-CANX [CANX/1543] (Anti-Calnexin antibody [CANX/1543] ab238078) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, Anti-Tenascin C antibody [EPR4219] ab108930 was shown to bind specifically to TNC. A band was observed at 122 kDa in wild-type U-2 OS cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in TNC knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and TNC knockout U-2 OS cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 2 % BSA in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times before development with a high-sensitivity ECL substrate kit and imaged with 5 seconds exposure time. Secondary antibodies used were HRP conjugated Goat anti-Rabbit (H+L) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.
